Re: [RBW] Re: WTB: matching trunksacks (was: New look on Quickbeam)

Hi Geoff, 
would love to take it offline, but I can't figure how to send you a g-mail. 
 I think mine links in the quoted text - do you want to try me?   
I don't think an iPad would quite fit in the large trunksack.  
Thanks for your interest, 
Ron

 Ron,

 Those look really nice with the liners! Good work. Two questions: how much 
 would you ask for the set, shipped to Denver; and, how well would an iPad 
 fit in the larger sack, with the liner installed?

 Thanks,
 Geoff

 If anyone has a matching set of front and back (small and large) 
 trunksacks for sale, please contact me offlist. Tweed is great but not 
 obligatory.

 Thanks!

 weather. :-)

 I've been continuing to play around with my Quickbeam now that the 
 Hunqapillar has become the bike I used for carrying stuff around. Because 
 of all the rain we've been having I decided to switch to Gripsters and 
 away 
 from Grip Kings (love both, keeping the GKs for other uses).

 I also decided that since I have an Acorn saddlebag and a handlebar bag 
 they should both go on the same bike. I've also always like trunk bags but 
 since I've got a basket on the Hunq (moved from the QB) it can't take one 
 right now. But...I was pretty sure my QB would look great with a matched 
 set of Sackville TrunkSacks so with a little extra cash (is there ever 
 such 
 a thing as 'extra cash?') I picked up new pedals and matching TrunkSacks. 
 I'd thought about the Nigel Smythes but as I have a Sackville huge saddle 
 bag...well bag matching may not be my thing all the time but...

 It's not a great picture and I'm not taking the bike out as I'm off to 
 Maui with my Bike Friday in about 2 hours - I'll be riding down Haleakala 
 on Sunday. It's also raining hard and until I put a little Obenauf's on 
 the 
 leather I'm going to keep the Sackville's out of the rain.

 Anyway it's the look I was going for so...happy trails all!

 BTW - for those who might have wondered how the voting is going on 
 which bike I should ride April's Haleiwa Metric Century (
 http://statrix.com/whichbike.**htm http://statrix.com/whichbike.htm), 
 right now it's the Quickbeam:

 Bike Friday: 10
 Quickbeam: 15
 Hunqapillar: 12

 Aloha all!

 Bob
